Luxury Shopping Streets in Copenhagen

• Strøget
• Kongens Nytorv
• Illum
• Magasin du Nord
• Amagertorv

Security Considerations in Copenhagen

Strøget is one of Europe’s longest pedestrian streets, and Østergade has a constant flow of residents, cruise passengers and other visitors. Stores need officers with a relaxed but attentive presence at the door, in line with Danish expectations of informal and respectful service. English is widely spoken, and Danish is an advantage with local customers.

Summer brings long days, cruise ship calls and events such as Copenhagen Fashion Week, while Tivoli and the Christmas season fill the center in winter. Shop-in-shops at Illum and Magasin follow the department stores’ procedures. A security program should be planned around these peaks, provide winter equipment for exterior posts and maintain the same standards as at other Nordic locations.

Common Questions

Can One Program Cover Stores in More Than One Country?

Yes. The program is built for retailers with locations in several markets. Each location follows the same Post Orders format, the same reporting and the same escalation process.
